The Architect
Looking forward to getting this build going. The glue gun should be in the mailbox sometime this weekend and I'm going to take some time putting it all together.
I actually bought this kit back in November 2013 along with the "Beef" LazerToyz power pack and it's all been sitting in my garage untouched. I'm hoping to get the plane together, minwax it, then paint it.
Now, here's my silly noob question... I've never actually built a plane that included an ESC (just own trainers so far). I have a DX9 Tx and I'm curious, do I just need to head to LazerToyz website to get the ESC programming instructions? Do I program it through the Tx? I don't have a problem soldering as necessary and getting it installed, it's just the software setup that's got me a bit befuddled as I pre-plan the build.
Anyway, I'll try to take pics during the process and post up here as I go. I'm highly impressed with the guys over in the FT Duster thread (adding retracts, wow?!). The one area I may deviate from the plan is I'll probably buy some actual wheels instead of using the supplied foam discs. We'll see...
Anyway, thanks for reading. Any advice on the ESC setup is appreciated.
God bless, Chappy
